Forbidden, Forgotten, Erased: Exposing Absences

2019 School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Graduate Colloquium

University of Maryland-College Park

April 5-6, 2019

Keynote Speaker: Mabel Moraña, Washington University

For every cultural object visible in an archive, there are hundreds of lost and forbidden bodies and practices pushed outside the limits of what is seen and studied. Forbidden, forgotten, erased, these works reappear in between the breaches of texts, practices, and images demanding to be heard and seen.
